Shub plays 'Bountiful'

November 13, 1997|By J. Wynn Rousuck

Entering her seventh decade on the stage, popular local actress Vivienne Shub has performed in more than 150 productions. But she'd never acted in a play by Pulitzer Prize winner Horton Foote until Everyman Theatre gave her a chance to star in "The Trip to Bountiful," opening tomorrow.

In the role that won Geraldine Page an Academy Award, Shub will portray a widow determined to return to the small Texas town where she was born. Grover Gardner directs a cast that also includes Timmy Ray James, Jimi Kinstle, Lynn Steinmetz, Rob McQuay and Elauna Griffin.

Show times at Everyman Theatre, 1727 N. Charles St., are 8 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays and 2: 30 p.m. Sundays, through Dec. 7. Tickets are $15, except for a pay-what-you-can preview tonight and tomorrow's gala opening, which is $25. Call 410-752-2208.
